One can watch people getting tortured to death in "Hostel" or "Saw" in graphic detail on Amazon Prime.
Is it the innocence and defenselessness of children that gets society so riled up?
Yes.
I mean we all repress certain behaviors to a certain extent. Some level of repression is healthy. I might have the urge to eat 5KG of ice cream every day but I keep it under control.
> I don't think CP will turn anyone into a pedophile, might as well let people satisfy their urges in a non-harmful way.
If need CP to get off you are a pedophile by definition because you are sexually attracted to children. I guess you meant watching CP will not automatically turn him into a child molester.
It is not that I agree with this new law. I do not see how it is enforceable. But I do see why people have a very negative view of it.
No, I meant a pedophile. It's not like people aren't attracted to children just because they haven't seen a CP video, therefore allowing fictional CP should be OK (it won't convert anyone into a pedophile).
I guess there's an argument to be made that a pedophile watching CP might be tempted to become a child molester, but then we should debate that, not issue blanket bans on fictional CP.
